Podiatry Clinic

Under the supervision of fully trained academic staff our students use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to provide a wide range of treatments. Our podiatry clinic can help with foot problems in children, nail surgery for an ingrowing toe nail, biomechanical issues, foot-related sports injuries and can even modify or create bespoke orthoses.

Our academics are all experts within the field of podiatry, two of which have recently been awarded the prestigious Fellowship Award from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, Faculty of Podiatric Medicine.

Clinics open to everyone

The clinic has been designed to give our students hands on experience, performed under the supervision of highly experienced clinical members of staff from the Directorate of Podiatry.

We are located in the Allerton building on the Frederick Road Campus and any member of the public is free to make an appointment.

The assessment and management clinic can be attended by anyone in need of essential foot care – you may have painful pressure lesions or just be unable to care for your feet. At the clinic you will be given a full assessment and treated accordingly.

This service offers a full 3D assessment of your running gait and provides you with a report comparing your gait to that of an elite athlete. Based on the findings, you will be given a customised exercise programme, by a qualified physiotherapist, which is aimed at improving your running style.

Podo-paediatrics – Bio-mechanical assessment of children's feet

Foot problems in children can present with gait problems, for example, out-toeing or a lack of coordination, which may be related to abnormal foot function. Exercise induced pains in the leg and foot can also be associated with foot function. This clinic offers screening and management for any leg, foot or gait problems in children.
